Follow us @oddsontechnology for more tech archives and tech videos. Even after 20 years, the PSP UI feels more responsive than most gaming systems today. When Sony launched the PlayStation Portable (PSP) in 2004, it set a new standard for handheld gaming. Its iconic XrossMediaBar (XMB) let players instantly switch between UMD games, Memory Stick Duo storage, music, movies, photos, the web browser, and system settings with fluid animations and almost no noticeable lag. For many gamers, it remains one of the cleanest and fastest console interfaces ever made. Two decades later, the PSP’s UI still feels remarkably modern. From classics like God of War: Chains of Olympus, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker to homebrew, custom firmware, and emulation, the PSP continues to be one of the most beloved handhelds in gaming history.
